Recently I read Something like this: "I definitely believe the negative cognitive affects of marijuana outweigh any short term benefits. It's not as if marijuana is the worst thing in the world, especially if only used sparingly. But overall, I would say marijuana harms any individuals quality of life if it becomes a habit; to be blunt, weed makes you stupid."

Is that true? I have heard that cannabis lowers your IQ a lot recently...

Quote
Investigations of other indices, including employment and education, also offer little support for amotivation. Cannabis use appears orthogonal to wages or job turnover. An examination of over 8000 people suggests that some frequent cannabis users earn higher wages than abstainers [8]. Compared to non-smokers, marijuana smokers are no more likely to be fired from their jobs [9,10]. Educational outcomes vary among frequent cannabis users. High school students using cannabis are likely to have lower grades than non-users [11], but often report using other substances that may affect grades [e.g. alcohol, other illicit drugs; [12]]. Most heavy users earned lower grades prior to their marijuana consumption, suggesting cannabis could not have caused the poorer performance [13]. College students who smoke cannabis demonstrate comparable [14] or even higher [15,16] grades than their cannabis abstinent classmates, and are more likely to pursue a graduate degree [14].

I would warn you against managers. They often know even less about economics than you do, almost all of them under perform a monkey throwing darts and they most likely will try to scam you by selling the products with the most margin.

Just buy a low fee index funds and you will beat almost all managers.

I was born poor, then got rich fast so I can relate. One advice is not to spend money on things that you will only hate yourself for.

If you want to eat nice, eat nice. If you want to have that particular shoes get them. But if you are not comfortable at that high end night club, don't go there, if you are bored don't go buy random gadgets.

As for investments I did pay off my student loan, bought an apartment, put most in index funds and got some bitcoins. Can't go too wrong by doing that.

If we can have a drunk person vs a HIGH person drive a car thru an obstacle course I'm sure it would be interesting.

Didn't do much drugs, just alcohol like most teens etc. When I got closer to 30 I decided to try some stuff. My relationship with those drugs are much more rational than my relationship with alcohol ever was.

As for weed, its no big deal. It is strong, so don't smoke too much the first time or it can be unpleasant. I prefer to vaporise it or eat it, eating it is probably better for first timers as the high is more controlled and even.

If I would recommend other readers to try something it's mushrooms. Read on wikipedia about them:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psilocybin_mushroom#Effects

Pro:
*Euphoric experience
*Different sensational experience than alcohol and no drugs
*Increase well being long afterwards(source http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psilocybin_mushroom#Spiritual_and_well_being )
*Not possible to overdose and die
*Not toxic for your brain or organs
*Not addictive
*Hangover is actually pleasant

Con:
*If you do mentally heavy things during the trip you can be a bit tired the day afterwards
*Set and setting dependent experience, weed is easier to take without preparation
*Quick tolerance buildup

If you decide to try it, just order some from silkroad. Start with 1-2g, put on your favourite music and enjoy the trip.

This is a 3D printed part that saves weight in airplanes. Good luck manufacturing it without 3D printing.

A house has intrinsic value, a house in Detroit has not. Simple as that.

If so why it is banned almost everywhere? :/

Because white men didn't want black men to think they were equal.

Quote
"There are 100,000 total marijuana smokers in the U.S., and most are Negroes, Hispanics, Filipinos and entertainers. Their Satanic music, jazz and swing result from marijuana use. This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers and any others."
“Reefer makes darkies think they're as good as white men."
